39 Zephyr Progress

Havent posted any new pictures in a while now. So for those of you that may be interested here is the latest pictures of my 39 Zephyr project. Still got some issues to work out with the seat cover but Lebaron Bonney is working with me on that. Hope to have it completed before years end.. We'll see I guess

Hey Ken. I think I spotted a fly speck at about 6:00 on your speedometer glass. LOL

Beautiful job.

Wow! One of my favorite all time years and body styles. Stunning. With all the blind spots in that one, you really do need extra mirrors!

Love the draft deflectors. Are the ones for the Zephyrs different from the Fords? I have one that is longer than the ones on my 39 std. and don't know what it fits.

I've been admiring this jewel since you began posting installments. I believe we've finally arrived at the point where Gomer would say "SHA-ZAM"! Really, beyond nice! DD

Ken - As usual, your workmanship is truly superb; to say I am jealous and envious and covetous would ALL be terrific under statements! Well done, Friend!

Got it all in but the seat and carpet. Lebaron Bonney is making them as we speak. The rest of the car is finished. I'm getting a little antsy to drive it for the first time.

My dream car. The looks, the rear, the doors. It's the pinnacle for me. Love it!

Ken very nice looking car. I don't know if your aware but Skip has modified
100's of water pumps for the V/12 greatly improving cooling according to
people who use them. Check for results on Lincoln forums. G.M.

Looking great Ken. Thanks for the sample of interior trim color. By chance, the trim gets painted today.

That is one fantastic looking car! You see guys take 40 Merc coupes and spend a HUGE amount of chopping and metalworking time . . . to KIND OF get them to look like this. Wonderful!
